I am a tenant at the moment. I am living in Norwich because my daughter is at school there. I do not know the landlord; I do not know what is going to happen. He might afterwards send me a letter saying, “Lord Bird, I am sorry, but I want you to move on”, and I would not be able to do anything about it. I have invested an enormous amount of time and effort in being in Norwich, but the thing is that renting is so perilous. I want to get rid of that perilousness. I do not want that process to be slowed down, interrupted or kicked into the long grass simply because we do not want to address an incredibly serious misnomer that exists in the life of many, many people who cannot afford to buy property. They cannot afford to get on the property ladder and become landlords themselves.
